Gentoo/Alt: Gentoo on alternate platforms

Project Description

Gentoo/Alt is a top-level project that manages efforts to support
alternate Gentoo platforms and runtime environments. In many ways,
gentoo-alt represents the "cutting edge" work that is being done to
expand the capabilities and potential of Gentoo in general.

To avoid that the missing of one of the devs makes difficult
maintaining the project, all the technical documentation about
Gentoo/Alt projects must be written and published, so that they
are available to whoever wants to help.

To get Gentoo/Alt projects working on platforms where you are not
able to change what is installed in base system (closed-source
systems, for instance), a solution is to add support for alternate
prefix installation in portage.
